With increasing supply, commodity demand outstripping prices have been at historic highs. in To accelerate production, companies invested field exploration, heavily developments, brown field extensions, mining equipment purchases, advisory services and technology. green prices In 2012 the industry recognised that this “production at all costs” approach was have Commodity unsustainable. declined as supply has come more in line with demand. The availability of cheap gas in the USA has undermined the competitiveness of coal as an energy source around the world. The gold price has also been impacted by monetary policy changes worldwide. In Australia in particular, the competitiveness of many mines has been seriously eroded by higher costs and less efficient mining practices coupled with the high value of the Australian dollar. These changes triggered a major pull back in production investment which was replaced by a focus on cost cutting. We have seen a major pull back in new capital investments by the major mining companies. The juniors have also been affected as capital is now viewed as a scarce resource which is focusing them on cash preservation rather than expansion. This drive to reduce both capital and operating costs throughout the mining supply chain has had a major impact on suppliers to the industry with small and large companies announcing profit downgrades, asset write‐ downs and employee retrenchments. We, like most contributors to the industry, have been negatively impacted. Our advisory, desktop software and laboratory business units have all seen a reduction in demand. Not only has absolute demand dropped but pricing competition has intensified which are both driving down project margins. In last year’s report I assured our shareholders that we would closely monitor unfolding dynamics within the market and respond swiftly and decisively if needed, which we have. As soon as it became apparent that mining companies were changing their operational strategies, we reacted to reduce our operating costs and capital expenditure. result of As a restructuring activities undertaken by Richard and his management team the run rate of operating expenditure in the 4th quarter of the year reduced by 27%, or the annualised equivalent of over $24 million, from the comparative 4th quarter in 2012. As the majority of our costs are employee related, this down‐sizing cost the company $2.5 million in redundancy and $2.9 million impairment and in other one‐off restructuring expenditure. Right throughout this difficult process we have ensured that we retained our core capabilities and capacity. The Board believes that our current cost structure is now appropriate revenue our expectations but we will continue to remain vigilant and monitor the industry situation closely. current for While we have reduced the operating costs of the business, we have also invested in our technology products. We have continued to add additional features and functions to our desktop suite of products, while at the same time we have two Commodity Based Products (Underground Coal and Open Cut Coal). We have also delivered our first enterprise product (XERAS for Enterprise) which is fully integrated with SAP’s suite of corporate products.

It became evident early in the year that the demand for mining advisory services, desktop software products and coal gas exploration testing would be severely impacted by the correction in commodity prices and the associated reaction from the mining companies and financers to the industry. Group net revenue dropped by 26% to $73.9 million (2012: $99.3 million) with advisory and consulting revenue decreasing by 30% to $51.6 million (2012: $73.7 million). Software license revenue finished the year at $6.8 million, 37% behind the previous year’s result, however, software support revenue increased by 15% to $11.3 million (2012: $9.8 million). Laboratory testing and consulting revenue from the GeoGAS business finished the year at $8.4 million (2012: $11.4 million) a 27% reduction from the previous year. All operational areas of the business were impacted by the sharp contraction throughout the industry resulting in a net loss after tax of $7.6 million which included $5.4 million in one‐off restructuring and asset write‐downs. Basic earnings per share decreased to a loss of 5.9 cents per share after last year reporting a profit of 5.0 cents per share. their OPERATIONAL RESTRUCTURING The overriding objective of our major customers during the year was to reduce both their capital and operating costs as quickly as possible, thereby directly impacting revenue in included supplier base which ourselves. Our advisory business and GeoGAS business are both sensitive to coal exploration activities which were severely curtailed. There in Mergers and was also a Acquisition activities as a result of the industry coming to terms with the new economic reality. reduction In the advisory space, there was both less work available due to mining companies having limited external consultants’ budget and the work that was available was hotly contested. While we certainly have a brand that carries with it a premium, that premium was saw our competitors quoting for work at prices which appeared to be at or even under cost. reduced markedly. We Like other suppliers we also had to ‘do more with less’ which meant reducing the number of employees in the business, stop investing in underperforming insourcing wherever possible and retendering essential services. activities, Employee costs make up 72% of the total operating costs for our business. At the end of the financial year we had 341 employees which reduction of 28% employees from the same period in the prior year. represents a the year we closed down business, GeoGAS During the CORELATE Brisbane Lumpur Development laboratory, Kuala Centre and South American Advisory business. We insourced our Payroll Processing, Leadership and Strategic Training, Executive Coaching, Management Coaching, Sales Training, Presentation Training and Exit Interviews. In the same way our customers had us retender our services, we did so to our suppliers, achieving improved terms and significant savings from new agreements associated with the annual audit, insurance brokerage contract and Microsoft support contract. in the business such as We also found ways to reduce the variable costs travel, accommodation, professional fees and the like. While the drive to be more and more productive is never finished, we have made significant progress over the last ten months. GROUP MARKETING 2013 saw a complete rebuild of the marketing the Company. The department within successful company has a proud and RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |3 MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT engineering heritage which does not naturally cultivate a commanding sales and marketing focus. Following the re‐resourcing of the marketing team, the external image of the Company was our first priority. We continued our investment in our new website which is the store window to our business. Its modern look and updated content, in both English and Spanish, was a major leap forward with regards to how we present ourselves to the marketplace as well as being an important step in bringing our multiple brands together. It replaced 11 websites which were either dedicated to a specific product (e.g. XACT) or previous company (e.g. Pincock Allen Holt). The number of visitors to our website has increased substantially as it has become the central point of information for clients and investors globally. approved 2012 Company’s AGM, changing our the At shareholders the Company’s name to RungePincockMinarco which is a consolidation of the Company’s three main brands. We used this name change and brand consolidation to bring the business together under one message and strategy. Through this change, many of our clients learnt that the Company they were dealing with had a good deal more products and services that could be of value to them. It took less than a week for the Company to start to be widely referred to as ‘RPM’. The second half of the year was focused on developing enterprise marketing collateral to support our XERAS for Enterprise launch. Enterprise sales require a much higher level of engagement and hence marketing promotion and positioning. We have now delivered a series of high quality videos and marketing collateral value propositions of our products. focusing on key the Given the excellent progress that has been made over the last twelve months, we are now in a position to take more of a strategic sales marketing approach our to engagements, particularly with our advisory and software engagement. large While we have looked to reduce costs across the business we increased our investment in Marketing because we believe that the Company has hidden its bushel for far too long. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Over the last year, we have concentrated on four key software development areas, all of which are interlinked. Firstly, we had to deliver upgrades to our key desktop mining products. Our customers pay us maintenance fees to improve and protect their past investments in our products so they are always looking for new features and functions to be into these products. During the second half of the year, we released new versions of the following desktop products ‐ TALPAC, XERAS, XPAC, XACT and DRAGSIM. incorporated Secondly, we released (or rereleased) four new desktop productivity tools to the market which work with our other desktop products. These were HAULNET, Block Aggregation (BLOCKAGG), Aggregation (COALSEAMAGG) and Underground TALPAC. Seam Coal to their specifically junior miners and Thirdly, we started building standalone Commodity Based Solutions constructed on top of our flagship XPAC product platform. While XPAC can be used across all resource commodities, single commodity miners really want a product that caters business requirements. They want a solution that is fully integrated with the necessary auxiliary products (e.g. HAULNET) so that the product is easy to use and simple to configure and install. We believe these products will be attractive to the juniors, the majors who want to roll out a standard solution across multiple mines and mining contractors in emerging markets. In the second half of the year we released ‘Underground Coal Solution’ which RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |4 MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT was our first solution to the coal industry and in July 2013 we released our ‘Open Cut Coal Solution’. These products were well received however they will benefit from a turnaround in sentiment towards coal. Fourthly, in late calendar 2012, we committed to a corporate strategy which involves migrating our successful mining desktop applications to enterprise solutions which can be run at the corporate level. To successfully deliver on this strategy, there were a number of investments the Company first needed to make. A key one being to hire new people into the business who truly understand, have operated in and have been successful in the world of enterprise software development, which we did. (that ‘XERAS Right at the end of the year, and after a lot of work by many people, we released our first enterprise enabled product for Enterprise’. This product takes our existing desktop product XERAS is used extensively for budgeting across mining operations) and provides seamless two way industry standard integration with SAP ‐ the ERP standard in the mining industry. XERAS for Enterprise integrates SAP’s Financial and Maintenance Management modules with the financial modelling capabilities of XERAS. This integration allows for unprecedented levels of financial visibility and cost control, from individual mine sites through to corporate management reporting systems. With a centralised platform for conducting analysis and generating different scenarios using auditable and validated information, XERAS for Enterprise bridges the gap between the mine and the boardroom. is a significant development This in the evolution of our software business. It is a product for the time and we have been very encouraged by the response this product has received to date given its launch during a period of major austerity. investment Similarly to our Marketing area, we have the company’s increased software products this year, as we believe it is imperative that we get more products to market more quickly than we have in the past. in MARKET DEVELOPMENT As detailed above, we have released upgraded products, new products, our first Commodity Based Products and our first enterprise offerings, all of which have been focused on delivering cost and productivity improvements to our clients. While new products are important, so too are the distribution channels used to deliver these products to market. We have looked to broaden the accessibility of our products and services, particularly into countries which we have already made investments. Memorandum During the year we entered into a Strategic Collaboration of Understanding with China Kingho Energy Group (Kingho). Kingho is one of China’s leading private mining and energy companies. This agreement laid the foundation for RPM and Kingho to become strategic partners as Kingho takes its highly successful business model globally, with a focus on Africa, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Asia. Kingho has confirmed RPM as a preferred supplier which gives Kingho access to RPM’s global network of mining specialists to provide expertise in project assessments and development advisory, along with operational support and technology services. This agreement formalises an already strong relationship between the two companies as RPM’s Beijing Office has been providing assistance on two smaller, long term Kingho projects in Africa. This year we entered into a Joint Venture with Deepak Mining Services Private Limited (‘Deepak’). Deepak are engaged the business of mining services in India and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Deepak Fertilisers and Petrochemicals Corporation Limited (’DFPCL’), a Public Limited Company. The Joint in RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |5 MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT an established Venture Indian‐based incorporated company to pursue the delivery of RPM’s software and advisory expertise across the natural resource sectors of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan. The new Joint Venture company is well–positioned to take advantage of the continually increasing demand for power and steel in the Indian continent, which can only be met by the application of best‐practice advisory and technology products, for which RPM is respected globally. As Indian resource companies look to expand their supply of natural resources from outside India, the local Joint Venture will be able to capitalise on RPM’s existing long‐term relationships with global miners and investment houses, as well as draw on the wealth of knowledge that exists in the technical experts in the RPM offices around the world. software Late in the year we signed a strategic distribution agreement with one of Russia’s largest IT system integrators, CJSC NVision Group (NVision Group). NVision Group is a leader in integration services and consulting in the Russian IT industry. Founded in 2001, NVision Group has over 4,500 employees operating out of 22 offices in Russia. NVision Group boasts an extensive network of business partners, application vendors and customers. They operate a large SAP business unit and this agreement is their first with a dedicated mining software provider. Under this non‐exclusive agreement NVision Group will sell and support RPM software and solutions including its market leading mine financial modelling products to customers in Russia and the CIS. Working closely with RPM’s team based in Moscow, NVision Group will leverage local thorough understanding of their of and customer innovations and trends in the development of provide information technologies, comprehensive up‐to‐date solutions that meet mining’s unique challenges in these regions. scheduling and knowledge needs to Just after the end of the year we signed another strategic distribution agreement, with Information Technology Experts LLC (IT Experts), a Mongolian‐based mining software consultancy firm. IT Experts was established in 2010 and proudly supports local and multi‐ national companies involved in the Mongolian mining industry. Their team is comprised of internationally experienced Mongolian professionals, allowing IT Experts to offer international excellence to the sector. Under this non‐exclusive agreement, IT Experts will sell and support RPM software and solutions including its market leading mine scheduling and financial modelling products to customers in Mongolia. This is an important step for the growth of our Mongolian business as it complements RPM’s existing local team with a key regional partner.

This shift towards larger and more detailed studies has been driven by the desire to increase our book of work and to utilise RPM in our advisory consulting work. These types of studies, due to their size and level of detail, best enable the use of RPM software. software Acknowledging that client demand in the PFS/FS market will not be strong in Australia in the near term, we are shifting our business development focus to developing markets (e.g. India, Africa and Russia) for this style of work. Our efforts to date, which have predominately been in India, have been well received. in assisting companies Within Australia, given current commodity prices and the high operating cost base of many mines, we believe there will be to opportunities understand their project’s economic drivers and then complete updated life of mine plans to increase operating margins. Although few companies appear to have taken this step to date, once the initial cost cutting measures and in‐house mine optimisation processes are completed, we anticipate that some operators will seek external assistance. that as 2013 saw a major pull back in Independent Technical Reviews and Technical Due Diligence studies. This was driven by a reduction in M&A activity during the year. We anticipate the Australian dollar weakens and as junior and mid‐tier miners become more cash strapped, M&A activity will increase. Based on our recent experience, investment activity appears to be coming from Korea, China, India and, to a lesser extent, Japan. RPM have successfully partnered with larger infrastructure groups throughout 2013. We believe strategic partnering will be a key factor in our success on larger projects in 2014. Our software revenues in Australia were poor and nowhere in our business was the differentiation between the coal sector and the iron ore sector more pronounced. The coal miners focused on absolute variable expenditure, which negatively impacted our revenues, however the iron ore miners viewed variable expenditure in relative terms which positively revenue streams. Unfortunately the reduction in coal outweighed the increase in iron ore. impacted our 2014 will see our sales strategy and effort focused on finding new markets and new opportunities. The development and release of the Commodity Based Solutions is the first step in the execution of this strategy. The solution new opportunity for RPM as we are able to sell these to both new and existing customers. represent products a in XERAS for Enterprise (X4E) and XACT for Enterprise (A4E) represent significant product differentiation for RPM.

Large miners in Indonesia are focused on margin industry, as RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |8 REGIONAL REVIEW preservation which is resulting in life of mine planning work for both our advisory and software teams. The Indonesia business will continue to focus on both the Advisory and Software space during 2014 with a view to expanding in South East Asia and growing our ‘local’ Indonesian market share. advisory revenue. Delays in Hong Kong Exchange transactions during the year significantly impacted on our Chinese Increased competition from Australian and recently established Asia‐based consulting firms is also putting pressure on project margins for listing style work. Focus will be given to SOEs and large accounts with whom we already have established relationships to further develop the range of work undertaken by RPM for them. To date, this work has been primarily focused on financial transactions and needs to shift to more operational style advisory work where opportunities for exposure to our software can be generated. Our Hong Kong business is continuing to build close relationships with our key market segments including long term existing Asian listed clients, Financial Institutions and Private Equity funds. Through our presence in Hong Kong, we are gaining exposure to a broader client base in both Hong Kong and the remainder of South East Asia, Japan and Korea, to the benefit of the broader RPM business through jobs won. Hong Kong is a well‐established hub of funding for mining projects; our Hong Kong office is leveraging our existing global office client network to provide introductions to various finance and investment in Hong Kong to improve our client experience. This approach maintains client cross management approach which is preferred by our clients and will ensure RPM recognition as a global brand. institutions regional our from Ongoing negative towards international mining Mongolia are forecast to continue into 2014 as the new government works through key sentiment investors issues with the Oyu Tolgoi (OT) and Tavan Tolgoi (TT) agreements. Competitor activity has dropped as less established firms pulled out of the country during 2013 due to lack of work. The key objective for the Mongolia business in 2014 is to ensure that we maintain our presence and networks in the market through regular communication with both local Mongolian and international investors in country. Projects are still being developed by a number of foreign funded companies and we have positioned ourselves to secure work from these clients for both geological advisory and mine planning style work. The office will continue to provide geological advisory work introduction to new which provides an likely to either move projects which are towards development where our mine planning and software can be leveraged or towards financial transactions through our in the various financial mining presence markets. We expect our new relationship with IT Experts, who were appointed as a distributor and partner in Mongolia in early August, to bear fruit during 2014. The Indian coal mining industry is in dire need of modernisation as acknowledged by all of the major players in the local coal industry. Very little technology is actually used in the mines. Most mines are using 20 year old Russian best practice mining methods. Whereas developed markets are in lockdown, the general sentiment in India is: if we can show value, they will invest. Our Indian office late 2013 with our joint was opened venture partner Deepak. We are confident that we have teamed up with a partner who is well respected and well networked in the industry and who has similar business ethics and standards. in The Advisory projects secured in India are sold and resourced largely out of Australia and will continue to be so for at least the next two years while the Joint Venture builds capacity and reputation. Coal India (CIL) is the national coal producer with some 450 mines producing 80% of India’s coal. Increasing output from RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |9 REGIONAL REVIEW least these mines is a national priority. Non‐CIL businesses are generally private and family owned or at connected. These organisations have a positive view towards investing for value or production increases. Many provide captive coal to their own power stations or mills and present an opportunity to sell both Software and Advisory services. New private coal block owners have been under scrutiny for the last two years as corruption investigations are finalised. When this is finalised there will be 100+ new mines starting at the same time, mostly owned by companies who have never been in mining before, all looking for the products and services we can offer. vertically integrated RUSSIA and CIS During 2013 we signed up our first substantial Russian steel manufacturer who has both coal and iron ore mines throughout Russia.

The South African mining industry has been decimated by labour unrest and general instability which has manifested itself in loss of investor confidence, no new projects or expansions of any substance are planned and there has been a significant downsizing and capital budgets are is expecting an upturn during the next two years. The South Africa business has historically been focussed on software sales and product consultancy that accompanies this.

No one Our Commodity Based Solutions are being translated into Russian and, once available to the market, they will fit well with the thinking behind the Russian Design Institutes, who are also looking to improve the productivity of the industry through purpose built technology.

The key objectives for 2014 will be to increase software sales through the introduction of new products into the market. AMERICAS The Canadian mining industry is clearly in a slowdown period. All of our customers are feeling different levels of pain depending upon the commodity they are mining. Junior companies in Toronto and Vancouver and the gold miners appear to be the hardest hit, however, sands and diamond producers are trading reasonably well. Potash and coking coal is somewhere in the middle. the oil In June 2013 we announced a strategic distribution agreement with one of Russia’s RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |10 REGIONAL REVIEW The Canadian offices in Calgary and Toronto will remain focused on the delivery of technology products and the associated consulting and training that go with them. Advisory services will still be important. This is particularly the case for existing clients where we have strong relationships already in place and where our technology provides us with a natural advantage over our competitors. We are also targeting new clients where the use of our software in completing the advisory projects gives us the opportunity to showcase our technology to new clients who may then see value in purchasing our products. Our North American (NAM) office which is based in Denver has an established advisory business made up of geologists, mining engineers, processing engineers, environmental and mineral engineers economists. They work on all commodities, including base metals, precious metals, coal and industrial minerals. The types of projects undertaken typically include scoping studies, prefeasibility studies, feasibility studies, due diligence and mine audits. With the exception to the feasibility studies, RPM performs all tasks with its own employees. For feasibility studies, we team up with an engineering company which is generally responsible for design of the plant and infrastructure. We also utilise the services of outside associates when we in certain require specialists technical areas where we lack a particular specialty, or we need additional help to meet the client’s schedules. When using outside associates, with rare exception, we have our own staff manage the project. The North American mining industry is also experiencing tough and challenging times. Many companies have had very large write losses. The corresponding downs and investment community has punished these companies harshly with dramatic stock price declines. In recent years, the majority of software sales in NAM have eventuated mainly from repeat in business via cross‐sell and on‐sell. Whilst repeat business is important, we must also cultivate new business with new customers. For our scheduling products XPAC and XACT, we must gain the metals traction marketplace. Our XERAS product is well positioned to help customers through these as difficult and controlling costs’ is a key and common customer deficiency, XERAS’ zero‐based‐ costing and activity‐based‐costing capability will help mining companies ‘get their costs under control’. ‘understanding times Whilst Latin America is a geographically large region (three times the land mass of Australia) is composed of nineteen different and markets, RPM’s products and services are best targeted at Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru. Mexico is a special case given it is closer both economically and culturally to the United States of America. It is important to note that Brazil has a GDP that is equivalent to all other Latin American countries combined and hence is a key development market for RPM. The business strategy for RPM in Latin America will be focused on the four markets referred to above given that mining makes up a significant proportion of the total GDP of these markets. In Brazil, we have a number of ongoing advisory projects and prospects that will sustain our cash flow and operating margins. The focus in the technology space will be to up sell and cross sell our new products into our existing clients as well as sign up new customers. Developing partnerships with key consulting firms will be important in this region.

Review and Results of Operations The 2013 financial year saw a marked deterioration in trading conditions for consulting services and software license sales from the previous financial year. Net revenue in the year decreased by 26% to $73.9 million (2012: $99.3 million). The reduction in revenue was primarily related to consulting services and was experienced across all regions with revenue and utilisation levels being adversely impacted by increased competition for fewer projects. The cost base of the business was significantly reduced during the year in response to market conditions however the fall in revenue resulted in Operating EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortisation, Restructure and Impairment) of $1.9 million (2012: $12.0 million). The Group reported an $7.6 million loss after tax inclusive of restructuring and impairment charges (2012: profit $6.2 million) with an earnings loss of 5.9 cents per share (2012: 5.0 cents earnings per share). The Group had cash reserves of $6.9 million and no bank debt at the end of the financial year. RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |16 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 4. Review and Results of Operations (continued) The company name was changed from Runge Limited to RungePinckockMinarco Limited to provide unified brand recognition in all trading regions following shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting of 23 November 2012. Consulting Services The Group’s consulting services include mining advisory, software consulting services and professional development training courses. Gross revenue from consulting services decreased by 33% to $51.7 million (2012: $76.7 million) with Australian and African regions falling by 39% and 45% respectively. The downturn in mining industry activity, in particular for coal related consulting services, increased competition for fewer projects and negatively impacted margins and utilisations of consultants. Software License and Maintenance Software license sales for the year amounted to $6.8 million (2012: $10.9 million), with second half software sales of $2.7 million reflecting difficult trading conditions for desktop software and tight constraints on capital and operating expenditure within the mining sector. The normal seasonally strong finish to the year for software, as experienced in previous years, was not replicated this year due to strong fiscal directives on capital expenditure across the mining industry. Recurring revenue from annual Software Maintenance grew by 15% to $11.3 million (2012: $9.8 million) with a strong renewal rate from the existing software client base. GeoGAS The GeoGAS business provides mine gas consulting and laboratory testing services to the coal industry on the East Coast of Australia. The laboratory testing business was similarly affected by a sharp decline in coal exploration activity and associated consulting and testing experienced during the year with net revenue down by 31% to $7.7 million (2012: $11.1 million). In response to the slowdown the Brisbane laboratory, which had been commissioned to take overflow from the Wollongong and Mackay laboratories was closed in November 2012. Operating expenses Operating expenses before amortisation and depreciation decreased by 18% to $72.0 million during the year (2012: $87.3 million). Most significantly, Employee Benefits expense was reduced to $51.7 million (2012: $62.7 million) due to the decrease in staff headcount to 341 (2012: 474) as a result of restructuring and redundancies. As a result of the restructuring activities the run rate of operating expenditure in the 4th quarter of the year reduced to $16.0 million, down by $6.0 million or 27% from operating expenditure in the comparative 4th quarter in 2012 of $22.0 million. Restructure and Impairment costs Following the appointment of Richard Mathews to the role of Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer at the end of August 2012, the Group undertook a program of cost reduction and restructuring initiatives to better align the business with the change in the operating environment. The costs incurred in these activities amounted to $5.4 million and include: • Redundancy costs following the restructure of corporate and administrative functions, closure of the Malaysian software development office and Brisbane laboratory and re‐organisation of advisory consulting operations which amounted to $2.7 million; • Costs arising from sub‐letting surplus office space and cancellation of the Brisbane Laboratory lease, of $1.3 million; RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |17 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 4. Review and Results of Operations (continued) • Non‐cash impairment losses of $1.4 million from: - $0.7 million fitout impairment of GeoGAS Brisbane Laboratory; - $0.3 million in capitalised software development costs write‐off as the company re‐focused on a new enterprise software strategy; and - $0.4 million impairment of goodwill in the South African region. • Closure of Corelate business unit at a cost of $0.1 million. Financial Position During the year the company raised $9.2 million (net of costs of issue) from institutional investors and a Share Purchase Plan. The purpose of the capital raisings was to replace monies used in restructuring activities and to provide additional capacity to deliver enterprise software solutions to the market. The Group had no bank debt at 30 June 2013 (2012: $5.0 million) and net assets of $47.7 million (2012: $48.3 million). 5. Likely Future Developments ‐ Business Strategies and Prospects for Future Financial Years The 2013 financial year saw a continued contraction in Australian sourced advisory opportunities and a growing demand for both advisory and technology consulting skills in the Asian, Russian and Indian markets. In response to this shift in market conditions the Asian and Australian operations were consolidated under one, flatter management structure at the end of the financial year to better facilitate the delivery of projects to clients in these markets going forward. The new structure aligns consulting capabilities along commodity lines and better enables client projects to be managed and undertaken by teams of consultants across office locations in Australia and Asia. Sales management of advisory and software prospects have also been consolidated across these regions to provide better visibility and management of large, cross regional opportunities. To assist in developing local client relationships and service delivery in emerging markets, the Group entered into a joint venture in India, with the Deepak mining services group, and a strategic distribution agreement in Russia with the NVision Group during the year. Deepak and RPM have worked together on a number of client projects over the last two years and formalised this relationship in February 2013 to jointly target the expanding technology and advisory market in India. RPM entered a strategic distribution agreement with NVision in June 2013 to provide NVisions network of over 4,500 staff in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) with the ability to sell and support RPM’s software products. The GeoGAS business continued to invest in safety and quality systems throughout the year and was certified for its technical competence and quality management in gas chromatography testing by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) in May 2013. GeoGAS was also successful in June 2013 in securing the return of business founder, Ray Williams, to lead and direct the consulting capabilities of the business and ensure tight integration between consulting and laboratory testing services. In accordance with its stated software product strategy the Group released a series of product upgrades and new products over the second half of the year including its first software product targeted at the enterprise software market. These new products include: • Underground Coal Solution – the first in a series of specifically designed mine scheduling solutions based on commodity type and mining method; • Open Cut Coal Solution – standardised mine scheduling solution designed specifically for open cut coal mines; • Block Aggregation – designed for open pit metals mines to facilitate the transfer of geological model information into scheduling tools; • Coal Seam Aggregation – similar functionality to Block Aggregation for open cut coal mines; RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |18 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 5. Likely Future Developments ‐ Business Strategies and Prospects for Future Financial Years (Continued) • Underground Coal TALPAC – simulates activity at a longwall face, enabling mine operators to pinpoint areas of saving and productivity improvement in their longwall operation; and • Xeras for Enterprise – the first fully integrated enterprise financial modelling software application specifically built for the mining industry. Launched in May 2013 with the support of global enterprise software vendor SAP AG, Xeras for Enterprise is designed to integrate with SAP’s financial and maintenance management modules to allow unprecedented levels of financial visibility and cost control. The 2013 financial year was one of challenge and change for mining services providers as the industry moved through a cyclical change in focus from expansion to protection of cashflow and returns from existing assets. The Group has responded to the volatility and uncertainty created by this shift by aggressively cutting costs and reshaping the business to meet the changing needs of its clients. The change in market conditions is also reflected in the software strategy of delivering standardise solutions that drive productivity improvements and greater visibility and financial control at the enterprise level. As a result the Group has seen a step change in the seniority and level of client engagement that is more consistent with its positioning as an enterprise vendor and industry expert. The Board believes that the changes made during the year to the structure and cost base of the business, and the progress made in delivering the software strategy leave the business well positioned to benefit from the new market conditions and deliver profitable growth in the next financial year. 6. Legal Proceedings on Behalf of the Group No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Group or interview in any proceedings to which the Group is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Group for all or any part of those proceedings. The Group was not a party to any such proceedings during the year. 7. Significant Changes in the State of Affairs There was no matter or circumstance during the financial year that has significantly affected the state of affairs of the Group not otherwise disclosed. 8. Matters Subsequent to the End of the Financial Year No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2013 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect: a) The Group’s operations in future financial years; or b) The results of those operations in future financial years; or c) The Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration This report discusses the Group’s policies in regard to compensation of key management personnel (KMP). The identified KMP have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group. In addition to the Directors, the Company assessed the Chief Financial Officer, Group General Counsel & Company Secretary and the EGM Corporate Services roles within the Group as having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling all activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, during the 2013 financial year. The Board has established an HR and Remuneration Committee to assist with remuneration and incentive policies enabling the Group to attract and retain KMP and Directors who will create value for shareholders and support the Group’s mission. The HR and Remuneration Committee obtains independent advice if required on the appropriateness of compensation packages given trends in comparative companies. In the 2013 financial year the Committee has not used a remuneration consultant. The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on the role of this Committee. The compensation structures explained below are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the achievement of strategic, operational objectives and achieve the broader outcome of creation of value for shareholders. The compensation structures take into account: • The capability and experience of the KMP; • Their ability to control the relevant segment’s performance; and • The segment or Group earnings. Compensation packages include a mix of fixed and short‐term and long‐term performance‐based incentives. In addition to their salaries, the Group also provides non‐cash benefits to its KMP and contributes to a defined contribution superannuation plan on their behalf. Fixed Compensation Fixed compensation is calculated on a total cost basis and includes salary, allowances, non‐cash benefits, employer contributions to superannuation funds and any fringe benefits tax charges related to employee benefits, including motor vehicles. Compensation levels are reviewed using an individual approach, based on evaluation of the individual, and a comparison to the market. A KMP’s compensation is also reviewed on promotion. Performance Linked Compensation Performance linked compensation includes both short‐term and long‐term incentives and is designed to reward KMP for meeting and exceeding their Key Performance Objectives (KPOs). The Short‐term Incentive (STI) is an ‘at risk’ bonus provided in the form of cash, while the Long‐term Incentive (LTI) is provided as options over ordinary shares of the Company under the rules of the Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) (see note 26 to the financial statements). The current long‐term performance incentive structure was implemented in the 2008 year and amended in 2010 and 2012 years. The table below sets out the performance based compensation paid to KMP together with earnings for the same period. Performance based compensation consists of STI cash bonus and LTI share‐based payments. RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |23 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 18.

Each of the identified KMP have a portion of their remuneration linked to the EGMIP. The key objective of the EGMIP is to create clear alignment between individual and business performance and remuneration by providing a performance‐based reward to participants in line with their relative contribution to the business. The EGMIP achieves the alignment by focusing participants on achieving goals which contribute to sustainable shareholder value, and providing a clear link between performance and the company financial result. There are two components of the EGMIP, outlined as follows: Company NPAT Target: 80% of STI % Individual Performance: 20% of STI % The Company NPAT Target component has a qualification threshold of 80% of target, i.e. once 80% of target has been reached eligibility for both components activate, and are lined in step thereafter until the total STI is achieved. An individual KMP’s entitlement under the Individual Performance component of the EMIP is subject to the review and discretion of the CEO. Cash bonuses are paid, provided for or forfeited in the year to which they relate. All payments under the EGMIP for the 2013 year were forfeited. Long‐term Incentive Options were issued in 2011, 2012 and 2013 under the Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) to KMP at the discretion of the Board. The rules allow the Board to set a timetable for vesting of options in order to reward the longer term performance by setting performance hurdles which must be met for the option holder to be entitled to exercise the options. The options issued in 2011 include vesting conditions related to Earnings per Share growth, EBITA margin and TSR peer comparison. The performance hurdles for each condition are as follows: RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |24 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 18. Remuneration Report ‐ Audited (Continued) 18A.

This policy requires the approval of the Chairman of the Board for any financial arrangements or facilities related to company shares held by the Directors and executives. Non‐executive Directors Fees and payments to Non‐executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of the Directors. Non‐executive Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed periodically by the Board and are determined within an aggregate Directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The pool currently stands at $500,000 (2012: $500,000). Non‐executive Directors’ base remuneration was last reviewed with effect from 1 March 2008. Both the Chairman’s and Non‐executive Directors’ remuneration is inclusive of committee fees. RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |25 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 18.

Bonuses and Share‐based Compensation Benefits All options refer to options over ordinary shares of RungePincockMinarco Limited, which are exercised on a one‐ for‐one basis under the ESOP Plan. The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted to the individuals is allocated equally over the period from grant date to vesting date, based on an estimate of the number of options likely to vest, and the amount is included in the remuneration tables above. Fair values at grant date are determined using Trinominal Lattice and Hoadley’s Hybrid models that take into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk‐free interest rate for the term of the option. Model inputs for options granted during the year are disclosed in note 26 in the financial report. Details of options over ordinary shares in the company provided as remuneration to each director and each of the KMP and the Group are set out below. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share of RungePincockMinarco Limited. Further information on the options is set out in note 26 to the financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial report comprises the consolidated entity (“Group”) consisting of RungePincockMinarco Limited and its subsidiaries. The company name was changed from Runge Limited to RungePincockMinarco Limited following shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting of 23 November 2012. (a) Basis of Preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. RungePincockMinarco Limited is a for‐profit entity for the purposes of preparing the financial statements. Compliance with IFRS The consolidated financial statements of RungePincockMinarco Limited also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Historical cost convention These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for available‐for‐ sale financial assets at fair value. The method used to measure fair values is discussed further below. New and amended standards adopted by the Group The following amendment to standard is mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2012: AASB 2011‐9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income. The adoption of this standard did not have any material impact on the current or any prior period and is not likely to materially affect future periods. (b) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by RungePincockMinarco Limited as at 30 June 2013 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then ended. RungePincockMinarco Limited and its controlled entities together are referred to in this financial report as the “consolidated entity” or the “Group”. Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one‐half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de‐ consolidated from the date that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group (refer to note 1(k)). Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |36 NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. (c) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Income Tax The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses in the tax jurisdiction in which they arose. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Tax consolidation legislation RungePincockMinarco Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. The head entity, RungePincockMinarco Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a standalone taxpayer in its own right. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, RungePincockMinarco Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities or assets and the deferred tax assets arising from the unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group. Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable or payable to other entities in the Group. Details about the tax funding agreements are disclosed in note 5. Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly‐owned tax consolidated entities. RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |37 NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. (d) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Segment Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operational decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Managing Director. The assets and liabilities of the Group are regularly reviewed on a consolidated basis but are not regularly reported to the chief operating decision maker at a segment level. As such this information has not been included in the Operating Segment note 2. (e) i) Foreign Currency Translation Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The is RungePincockMinarco Limited’s functional and presentation currency. in Australian dollars, which statements are presented consolidated financial ii) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are initially translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. Non‐monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non‐monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences on non‐monetary assets such as equities whose changes in the fair value are presented in other comprehensive income are recognized in other comprehensive income. iii) Group entities The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: • • • assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet; income and expenses for each income statement and statement of comprehensive income are translated at daily exchange rates; and all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. Fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entities and translated at the closing rate. RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |38 NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. (f) i) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Revenue Recognition Sale of licences Revenue from the sale of licences is recognised when the amount can be reliably measured and all significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. In most cases this coincides with the transfer of legal title or the passing of possession to the buyer. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. ii) Consulting Revenue from the provision of consulting services is recognised on an accruals basis in the period in which the consulting service is provided. Revenue from the provision of these services is calculated with reference to the professional staff hours incurred on each client assignment adjusted for any time that may not be recoverable. iii) Software maintenance When the outcome of a transaction involving software maintenance can be estimated reliably, revenue associated with the transaction is recognised on a straight‐line basis over the service period. iv) Interest revenue Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method. It includes the amortisation of any discount or premium. (g) Trade Receivables Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable may be impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short‐term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The amount of the allowance is recognised in other expenses in profit or loss. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in profit or loss. (h) Work in Progress Work in progress represents costs incurred and profit recognised on client assignments and services that are in progress at balance date. Work in progress is valued at net realisable value after providing for any foreseeable losses. RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |39 NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. (i) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Investments and Other Financial Assets All equity investments are measured at fair value. Equity investments that are held for trading are measured at fair value through profit or loss. For all other equity investments, the group can make an irrevocable election at initial recognition of each investment to recognise changes in fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) rather than profit or loss. All current investments in equity investments are classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income. Such investments are initially and subsequently measured at fair value, with the initial fair value being cost. Unrealised gains or losses on investments in an equity instrument are recognised in a reserve until the investment is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is transferred to the Asset Realisation Reserve. The Company derecognises an investment in an equity instrument when it is sold or it transfers the investment and the transfer qualifies for derecognition in accordance with AASB 9. Upon derecognition, unrealised gains/losses net of tax relating to the investment are transferred from the revaluation reserve to the realisation reserve. Interest bearing investments are recognised initially at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Amortised cost is calculated with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the investment on an effective interest basis. (j) Leases Leases of property, plant and equipment, where the Group as lessee has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short‐term and long‐term borrowings. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term. Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. Lease income from operating leases where the Group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight line basis over the lease term. (k) Business Combinations The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, including business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre‐existing equity interest in the subsidiary. RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |40 NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. (k) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Business Combinations (Continued) Acquisition‐related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition‐by‐acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non‐controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non‐controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non‐controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase. Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. (l) Impairment of Assets Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). Non‐financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. (m) Cash and Cash Equivalents For cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short‐term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily converted to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position. (n) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment over its estimated useful life to the consolidated entity, or in case of lease hold improvements, the shorter lease term. Estimates of remaining useful lives are made on a regular basis for all assets. RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |41 NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) (n) Property, Plant and Equipment (Continued) The estimated useful lives are as follows: Plant and equipment Plant and equipment under finance lease 2 – 13 years 4 years Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount of the assets. These are included in profit or loss. (o) i) Intangible Assets Software developed or acquired for sales and licensing Research expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will, after considering its commercial and technical feasibility, be completed and generate future economic benefits and its costs can be measured reliably. The expenditure capitalised comprises all directly attributable costs, including costs of materials, services, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Capitalised development costs and acquired software are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the asset is ready for use on a straight line basis over its useful life, which varies from three to five years. ii) Software – internal management systems Software licences used in internal management systems, whether acquired or internally developed are stated at cost less amortisation. They are amortised on a straight line basis over the useful life from 2.5 to 5 years. iii) Patents and trademarks Costs associated with patents and trademarks are expensed as incurred. iv) Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary/business at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that it might be impaired and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units for the purposes of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash generating units or groups of cash generating units that are expected to benefit from business combination in which goodwill arose, identified according to operating segments or components of operating assets (note 2). (p) Trade and Other Payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |42 NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. (q) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Borrowings Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non‐cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. (r) Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed. (s) i) Employee Benefits Short term obligations Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non‐monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for annual leave and long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. Other long‐term employee benefit obligations The liability for long service leave and other benefits which is not expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. ii) Bonus plans The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit‐sharing based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the company’s shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation. Liabilities for bonus plans are expected to be settled within 12 months and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when they are settled. RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |43 NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. (s) iii) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Employee Benefits (Continued) Superannuation The Group has a defined contribution superannuation plan for its eligible employees. Contributions to the defined contribution fund are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. iv) Share‐based payments Share‐based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the RungePincockMinarco Limited employee share option plan (ESOP) and an employee share purchase plan. Information relating to these schemes is set out in note 26. The fair value of options granted under the ESOP is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, which includes any market performance conditions, but excludes the impact of any service and non‐market performance vesting conditions. Non‐market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non‐market vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. (t) Value Added Taxes (Including Goods and Services Tax) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Value Added Tax (VAT), except where the amount of VAT is not recoverable from the relevant tax authority. In these circumstances the VAT is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the item as expense. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of VAT included. The net amount of VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the relevant tax authority is included as a current asset or liability in the consolidated statement of financial position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The VAT components of the cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the relevant tax authority are classified as operating cash flows. (u) Contributed Equity Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. (v) i) Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing: • • the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year. RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |44 NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. (v) ii) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Earnings per Share (Continued) Diluted earnings per share Dilutive earnings per share adjusts the figures used in determination of basic earnings per share to take into account: • • the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. (w) Financial Guarantee Contracts Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is initially measured at fair value and subsequently at the higher of the amount determined in accordance with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation, where appropriate. (x) Rounding of Amounts The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998 and in accordance with that Class Order amounts in the financial report and Directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated. (y) Comparative Figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. (z) Critical Accounting Estimates and Significant Judgments The preparation of the financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the accounting policies. The notes in the financial statements set out areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions are significant to the financial report such as: • • intangible assets, including goodwill (note 12), impairment of receivables (note 8 and note 1(g)). Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including reasonable expectations of future events. Management believes the estimates used in preparation of the financial report are reasonable. (aa) Parent Entity Financial Information The financial information for the parent entity, RungePincockMinarco Limited, disclosed in note 28 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set our below: (i) Investments in subsidiaries Investment in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of RungePincockMinarco Limited. RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |45 NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) (bb) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted Relevant accounting standards and interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective and have not been adopted for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2013, are as follows: Standard/Interpretation Application date* Application date for the Group* AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements AASB 11 Joint Arrangements AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement AASB 2011‐4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosures AASB 2012‐2 & AASB 2012‐3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities [AASB 7 & AASB 132] AASB 2012‐5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009–2011 Cycle [AASB 1, AASB 101, AASB 116, AASB 132 & AASB 134 and Interpretation 2] 1 Jan 2013 1 Jan 2013 1 Jan 2013 1 Jan 2013 1 Jul 2013 1 Jul 2013 1 Jul 2013 1 Jul 2013 1 Jul 2013 1 Jul 2013 1 Jan 2013 & 1 Jan 2014 1 Jul 2013 & 1 Jul 2014 1 Jan 2013 1 Jul 2013 * Application date is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after the date shown in the above table. The Directors anticipate that the adoption of these Standards and Interpretations in future years may have the following impacts: AASB 10 ‐ This standard replaces part of AASB 127: 'Consolidated and Separated Financial Statements' and introduces a new definition of control that determines which entities are consolidated, which requires that three elements of control (power over investee, exposure or rights to variable returns, and ability to use power to affect such returns) must be present in order to conclude that an investor controls an investee. The Group does not consider that the application of this new standard will have an impact upon the composition of the consolidated entity. AASB 11 – The group’s interest in a joint venture will be equity accounted. The Group does not consider that the application of this new standard will have an impact upon the composition of the consolidated entity. AASB 12 ‐ provides the disclosure requirements for entities that have an interest in a subsidiary, a joint arrangement, an associate or an unconsolidated structured entity. As such, it pulls together and replaces disclosure requirements from many existing standards. The Group is not expecting the standard to have a significant impact on the Group’s financial statements. AASB 13 ‐ Establishes a single course of guidance for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. The application of this standard is not expected to impact upon the Group’s fair value measurements or disclosures thereof. AASB 2012‐2, AASB 2012‐3 and AASB 2012‐5 – These amendments introduce various changes to IFRS. The Group is not expecting the amendments to have a significant impact on the Group’s financial statements. RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |46 NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Operating Segments Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Managing Director in order to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess performance of the Group. The reports are split into geographical areas. GeoGAS operations are based in Australia and are reported separately. Segment revenue, expenses and results include transfers between segments. Such transfers are priced on an “arms‐length” basis and are eliminated on consolidation. Each segment, other than GeoGAS, sells all the products and services provided by the Group. Previously the software development department was part of the “Australia” segment and received notional revenue from sales of software and maintenance from other segments. The department is now included in “unallocated costs – software development and IT”. June 2012 segments were restated to align with the current internal reporting structure.

On adoption of the tax consolidation legislation, the entities in the tax consolidated Group entered into a tax sharing agreement which, in the opinion of the Directors, limits the joint and several liability of the wholly‐ owned entities in the case of a default by the head entity, RungePincockMinarco Limited. The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly‐owned entities fully compensate RungePincockMinarco Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to RungePincockMinarco Limited under the tax consolidated legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly‐owned entities’ financial statements.

These calculations were based on the following key assumptions: Australia Australia – GeoGAS USA4 Margin1 Growth Rate2 Discount Rate3 2013 16% 35% 20% 2012 16% 31% 16% 2013 1.0% 1.0% 1.0% 2012 2.5% 2.5% 1.0% 2013 19% 18% 22% 2012 15% 15% 12% 8% 10% Africa 1 Budgeted gross margin 2 Weighted average growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the budget period 3 In performing the value‐in‐use calculations for each CGU, the group has applied post‐tax discount rates to discount the forecast future attributable post‐tax cash flows. The equivalent pre‐tax discount rates are disclosed above 4 Part of the American operating segment 2.5% 0.0% 19% 17% These assumptions have been used for the analysis of each CGU. Cash flows were projected based on approved financial budgets and management projections over a five year period. Management determined budgeted gross margin based on past performance and its expectations for the future. The weighted average growth rates used are consistent with forecasts included in industry reports. The discount rates used reflect specific risks relating to the relevant segments and the countries in which they operate. (c) Impairment charges Based on the above and three years of poor performance, impairment of $384,000 has been applied as the carrying amount of goodwill exceeded its recoverable amount for the African region. (d) Sensitivity analysis If the pre‐tax discount rate applied to the cash projections of all CGUs was increased by 500 basis points to be in a range between 23% and 27%, the recoverable amount of Australian and American CGU’s goodwill is still greater than its carrying amount. 13.

Capital Risk Management The Group’s objectives when managing capital include safeguarding the ability to continue as a going concern, so they continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |57 NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 17. Contributed Equity (Continued) Capital Risk Management (Continued) In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group does not have any externally imposed capital requirements. Consistent with the industry practice, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including ‘borrowings’ and ‘trade and other payables’ as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the statement of financial position plus net debt. The gearing ratios at 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2012 were as follows: Total borrowings, trade and other payables Less: cash and cash equivalents Net (cash) / debt Total equity Total capital Gearing ratio 18.

Financial Risk Management The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: • • • credit risk; liquidity risk; and market risk. This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, the objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for reviewing, ratifying and monitoring systems of internal controls and risk management. The Board has established an Audit and Risk Committee, which is responsible for overseeing risk management systems. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group’s finance division is responsible for development and maintenance of policies which deal with each type of risk related to use of financial instruments. The Group holds the following financial instruments: Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables 1 Financial liabilities Trade and other payables 2 Borrowings 2 1 Loans and receivables 2 At amortised cost (a) Credit Risk 2013 $'000 2012 $'000 6,928 17,235 24,163 5,154 14 5,168 12,141 23,228 35,369 7,397 5,018 12,415 Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group’s cash and cash equivalents and its receivables from customers. The Group does not require guarantees or collateral of its trade and other receivables. In some foreign regions the Group works on a prepayment basis to avoid credit risk. The Group has established an allowance for impairment that represents an estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade receivables. This allowance is determined based on the specific information regarding conditions of a particular individual debt. The information regarding the receivables ageing is monitored by both finance and operations management. RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |64 NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 24. (a) Financial Risk Management (Continued) Credit Risk (Continued) The maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets of the Group is represented by the carrying amounts of financial assets set out above. The Group had no significant concentrations of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties, other than banks or financial institutions. 53% of cash and trade receivables are held with ‘A’, ‘BAA’, ‘BAA’ or ‘BA’ – rated customers and banks (2012: 57%). The ratings used are set by Moody’s as at the end of the financial year.

The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group regularly reviews cashflow forecasts, maintains sufficient cash on demand and has unutilised borrowing facilities disclosed in note 14. Contractual maturities of the Group’s financial liabilities, including interest thereon, is as follows: 2013 Carrying amount Contractual cash flows 6 mths or less 6‐12 mths 1‐2 years 2‐5 years Finance lease liabilities Trade and other payables 2012 Secured bank loans Finance lease liabilities Trade and other payables $'000 $'000 $'000 $'000 $'000 $'000 14 5,154 5,168 5,000 18 7,397 12,415 15 5,154 5,169 5,647 19 7,397 13,063 15 5,154 5,169 144 3 7,397 7,544 ‐ ‐ ‐ 144 3 ‐ 147 ‐ ‐ ‐ 288 13 ‐ 301 ‐ ‐ ‐ 5,359 ‐ ‐ 5,359 More than 5 years $'000 ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |65 NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 24. (c) Financial Risk Management (Continued) Market Risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates that will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The Group manages its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations through a policy approved by the Board of Directors. There are no other significant market risks affecting the Group. Currency Risk The current policy is not to take any forward positions. At 30 June 2013 and 2012 the Group had not entered into any derivative contracts to hedge these exposures. The Group does not engage in any significant transactions which are speculative in nature. As a multinational corporation, the Group maintains operations in foreign countries and as a result of these activities, the Group is exposed to changes in exchange rates which affect its results of operations and cash flows. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at balance date expressed in Australian Dollars was as follows: USD $’000 CAD $’000 ZAR $’000 Other $’000 Total $’000 2013 Cash and deposits Trade and other receivables Trade and other payables Interest bearing liabilities 2,059 9,201 (319) ‐ Net balance sheet exposure 10,941 2012 Cash and deposits Trade and other receivables Trade and other payables Interest bearing liabilities 5,341 8,947 (1,600) ‐ Net balance sheet exposure 12,688 561 806 (182) (14) 1,171 719 414 (410) (18) 705 1,559 1,235 (93) ‐ 2,701 1,102 1,705 (275) ‐ 2,532 1,641 784 (733) ‐ 1,692 2,401 89 (462) ‐ 2,028 5,820 12,026 (1,327) (14) 16,505 9,563 11,155 (2,747) (18) 17,953 A 10 percent strengthening of the Australian dollar against the above currencies at 30 June 2013 based on assets and liabilities at 30 June 2013 would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit and loss by the amounts shown below.

In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

The reviews are being completed in accordance with the process adopted by the Board on recommendation by the HR and Remuneration Committee. Both qualitative and quantitative measures will be unitised consistent with KPOs set by the CEO in consultation with the key executives. The CEO will report to the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee the performance of these key executives. The Human Resources and Remuneration Committee will then approve any changes to remuneration and to the establishment of new KPOs for the 2014 financial year. P R I N C I P L E 2 : ‐ S T R U C T U R E T H E B O A R D T O A D D V A L U E The Company’s constitution provides for a minimum of 3 directors and a maximum of 8 unless the Company in general meeting determines otherwise. During the 2013 Financial Year Mr Christian Larsen resigned as a non‐executive director. The Board has elected not to replace his position on the Board at this time. The Board is of the view that the current size, capabilities and composition of the Board being limited to four (4) directors is appropriate and conducive to decision making for the current operations. The Board will consider appointment of another independent director with the appropriate skills and experience to add value to the Board when appropriate and required to support the Company’s operations. Recommendation 2.1: A majority of the board should be independent directors The names of the Directors of the Company in office at the date of this report, specifying which are independent, are set out below. The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of director held by each director below is set out in Section 9of the Annual Report in the section entitled “Information on Current Directors and Company Secretary”. Current Board Composition Director Board membership Date of appointment A Brackin Independent Chairman November 2011 R Mathews Executive, Managing Director and CEO February 2012 (August 2012 in Executive capacity) Dr I Runge Non‐executive R Walker Independent December 1986 March 2007 The Board is committed to ensuring that there will be at least four Directors of whom a majority will be Non‐ executive Directors and as far as possible, at least two will be independent Directors. A Director is regarded as independent if that Director is a Non‐executive Director who is not a member of management and who is free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the independent exercise of their judgement. When determining the independent status of a Director, the Board has considered whether the Director: RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |76 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT P R I N C I P L E 2 : ‐ S T R U C T U R E T H E B O A R D T O A D D V A L U E ( C O N T I N U E D ) a) is a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with a substantial shareholder of the Company; b) within the last three years has been employed or has previously been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another group member; c) within the last three years has been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the Company or another Group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided; d) is a material supplier or customer of the Company or other Group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer; e) has a material contractual relationship with the Company or another Group member other than as a Director of the Company. The Board has determined, on an individual by individual basis, that each of the two Directors designated as independent Directors above satisfy all of the above criteria. In addition, the Board comprises a majority of Non‐executive Directors and one Executive Director. The Board presently does not comprise a majority of Independent Directors, but the Board believes that the current individuals on the Board are able to make quality and independent judgements in the best interests of the Company on all relevant issues. The Company may consider appointing an additional Independent Director if and when the scale of its operations justifies such an appointment and an appropriate candidate becomes available. The criteria used to assess independence are reviewed from time to time. The Non‐executive Directors understand the benefits of conferring regularly without management present, and do so. The Board is also committed to ensuring that all Directors, whether independent or not, bring an independent judgment to bear on Board decisions. To facilitate this, the Board has agreed on a procedure for Directors to have access, in appropriate circumstances, to independent professional advice at the Company’s expense. Recommendation 2.2: The Chair should be an independent Director It is a requirement of the Company’s Board Charter that the Chair should be an independent director. The Board is satisfied that the Company’s Chairman, Allan Brackin, is, and has been throughout the year, an independent Director. Recommendation 2.3: The roles of the chair and chief executive officer should not be exercised by the same individual The Chairman and the CEO roles are performed by different persons. Recommendation 2.4: The Board should establish a nomination committee The Board is committed to ensuring that its members have a broad range of skills, experience and expertise. This will assist the Board to maximise performance and ensure appropriate levels of shareholder return. The Board has, in accordance with ASX Recommendation 2.4 and as stated above, established a Nominations Committee. The primary purpose of the Nominations Committee is to assist the Board to discharge its responsibilities with regard to the following areas: • • • overseeing the composition of the Board and competencies of Board members; providing recommendations of appointment and evaluation of the Managing Director; ensuring that appropriate procedures exist to assess the performance levels of the Chairman, Non‐ executive Directors, Executive Directors; and RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |77 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT P R I N C I P L E 2 : ‐ S T R U C T U R E T H E B O A R D T O A D D V A L U E ( C O N T I N U E D ) • developing succession plans for the Board and overseeing development by management of succession planning for senior executives. The Nominations http://www.rpmglobal.com/docs/corporate‐governance‐docs/rpm‐nominations‐committee‐charter‐(adopted‐ 11‐04‐08).pdf?sfvrsn=4 Company’s website, Committee Charter found can the on be at: The Charter requires that a majority of members of the Nominations Committee must, as far as possible, be independent Non‐executive Directors. The Chairman of the Nominations Committee is an independent Director. The current members of the Nominations Committee are the entire Board, so the Committee is not comprised of a majority of independent Directors. The Board is of the view that the entire Board brings the appropriate mix of skills and experience to satisfy the responsibilities under the Committee’s Charter. For that reason the duties of the Nominations Committee are currently being carried out by the entire Board and as such separate meetings for the Nomination Committee have not occurred during the 2013 Financial Year. The skills, experience and length of appointment relevant to each Director are set out in Section 9 of the Directors’ Report in the section entitled “Information on Current Directors and Company Secretary”. The name of the Director considered to be independent and the materiality thresholds are set out in this Statement under Recommendation 2.1. The relevant transactions with the independent Director, Ross Walker are set out in note 20 (fee) of the financial statements. The Board considers that the transactions involving Ross Walker are not material. A record of all Board and Committee meetings held and the attendance of each Director at those meetings are set out in the Directors’ Report. Recommendation 2.5: The performance of the board should be reviewed regularly against appropriate measures It is the responsibility of the Board and its Committees to review their performance (group and individually) annually to ensure that they are operating effectively and in the best interests of the Company. A comprehensive internal review of the Board and its Committees was completed in 2012. With the change in board personnel during 2013 a review was not completed during the year however is scheduled to be undertaken during 2014. The Company Secretary monitors whether Board policy and procedures are being followed, and co‐ordinates timely completion and despatch of Board agenda and briefing material.

The Code of Conduct Policy can be found on the Company’s website, at: http://www.rpmglobal.com/docs/corporate‐ governance‐docs/rpm‐code‐of‐conduct‐(adopted‐11‐04‐08).pdf?sfvrsn=4 RUNGEPINCOCKMINARCO LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2013 |78 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT P R I N C I P L E 3 : ‐ P R O M O T E E T H I C A L A N D R E S P O N S I B L E D E C I S I O N ‐ M A K I N G ( C O N T I N U E D ) The Code of Conduct Policy sets out a number of overarching principles of ethical behaviour and, among other things, requires the Directors, executives and employees of the Group to: a) act with high standards of honesty, integrity, fairness and equity in all aspects of their employment; b) comply fully with the content and spirit of all laws and regulations which govern its operations, its business environment and its employment practices; c) not directly or indirectly offer, pay, solicit or accept bribes, secret commissions or other similar payments or benefits in the course of conducting business; d) not divulge any information about the Company without appropriate authorisation; e) not participate in insider trading by using knowledge not generally available to the market to gain unfair advantage in the buying or selling of the Company’s securities; f) not knowingly participate in any illegal or unethical activity; and g) not enter into any arrangement or participate in any activity that would conflict with the interests of the Company or prejudice the performance of professional duties. The Managing Director in conjunction with the EGM Human Resources ensures that all employees are made aware of all procedures and policies on induction and on an ongoing basis to ensure any necessary reporting steps are undertaken. The Company is committed to ensuring that employees may raise concerns regarding illegal conduct or unethical behaviour and will support employees who report violations in good faith. All reports received will be thoroughly investigated and any necessary action taken. Internal audits will be undertaken to ensure compliance. Recommendation 3.2: Companies should establish a policy concerning diversity In May 2012, the Board adopted a Diversity Policy to describe how the Company is committed to a diverse workforce that recognises and embraces the value that different people can bring to an organisation. The Company promotes a diverse workplace by aiming to ensure that all employees and applicants for employment are fairly considered according to their skills, qualifications and abilities.

The Policy sets out the roles and responsibilities of the Board, the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee, and the Company’s employees in relation to workplace diversity. The initiatives which have been adopted by the Company to assist with improving gender diversity are also set out within the Policy. Recommendation 3.3: Companies should disclose the measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and progress towards achieving those objectives The Company’s measurable objective set in 2012 was to have 35% of women across the whole organisation by June 2013, subject to the overriding objective that all appointments will be made on the basis of merit.

This is a 3% decrease on June 2012. In part this reduction is due to the reduction in total employee headcount from 474 at 30 June 2012 to 341 at 30 June 2013. The female to male ratio, for employees in management positions in the Company, increased by 20% over the same period. The Company remains committed to achieving its measurable objective set in 2012 however due to current market conditions this objective is likely to be achieved over a longer period.
